I produce wearable objects, often inspired by miniature creatures and curiosities in nature or in museums. My pieces are intended to be just as beautiful when they are being worn as when they are off the body, and to evoke curiosity in their viewers. I'm is interested in the contrast of hard metal versus soft textures, often working with fine mesh, delicate cut outs and thin wire to blend one into the other.
I strive to produce work as responsibly and sustainably as possible at every step in my process.
